Re: eye surgery - cataracts

[rayilynlee <rayilynlee@xxxxxxx>]

Alison and List Members:

I'm sorry, how thoughtless of me  - I don't have dyskinesia because I don't
take PD meds and my DBSs stopped my tremors.

Don't know what  I would have done if I had either of these 2 conditions
when I had cataract surgeries.  I got turned OFF during recent crown dental
procedure but the shaking wasn't that bad yet.

And I get impatient with folks who don't "understand" - I should know
better.

As Sidney and others have pointed out, the cataract surgery today is really
slick and quick, so you have that going for you.
Best of luck, Ray
